Logogenie Platform Help

Logogenie (logogenie.com — the backlog's logogenie.net 301-redirects here) is a budget, France-based template logo maker for solo founders, small business owners, and non-designers. It offers two creation paths in one site — an AI logo generator (describe the business → ML models trained on logo datasets propose "hundreds of unique logo templates") and a 3,000+ template library across 30+ industries — both feeding an in-browser editor that reviewers single out for granular text customization and element layering (finer manual control than most peers). Beyond logos it makes business cards, letterheads, email signatures, social-media templates, and invoice templates. It's the branding/logo step for makers who've locked a name and want something cheap and fast. Designing/previewing is free — downloading a usable file is a one-time purchase, and Logogenie's model is à-la-carte: a ~€24.90 Standard pack plus paid add-ons (vector/editable source, social formats, black & white, unlimited edits) with exclusive rights sold separately (~€120) — so the default mark is NON-exclusive. Three Logogenie-specific traps: it's UI-only (no API), you cannot upload your own graphics, and prices are euro-denominated — treat every figure as best-effort.

Step 1 — Gather context

If references/learnings.md exists, read it first for accumulated platform knowledge.

Ask only what you can't infer:

1. What do you want from Logogenie?
   • A) Get a better logo out of the maker (AI generator or template library, edit, export)
   • B) Decide which creation path — the AI generator vs the template library
   • C) Understand what's free vs paid to download, and which add-ons to buy (vector? social? exclusive rights?)
   • D) A billing / euro-pricing / ownership / exclusivity problem
   • E) Integrate or automate ("API" / bulk generation — see Step 4)
   • F) Decide if you can legally own/trademark the logo
2. Have you locked the name yet, and is this for web/social only or print too? A logo is downstream of the name; and whether you need scalable vector (print/signage) vs a raster file changes which add-on to buy.

Skip-ahead: if the user needs a name (not a logo), that's /sales-namelix; if they want the validate-before-building method or a branding-tool comparison across the market, that's /sales-idea-validation; if they've got the logo and now need wider social/marketing creative at scale, that's /sales-canva — route in Step 2.

Step 2 — Route or answer directly

| If the user's question is about… | Route to | |---|---| | Generating the business name itself (not the logo) | /sales-namelix {question} | | The validate-before-building method, or comparing branding/logo tools across the market | /sales-idea-validation {question} | | Building the wider social/marketing creative or a design system at scale | /sales-canva {question} | | Building the landing page / smoke test under the new brand | /sales-funnel {question} | | A human done-for-you logo across many competing designers (contest model) | /sales-designcrowd {question} |

When routing, give the exact command: "This is a {domain} question — run: /sales-namelix {original question}"

Otherwise, answer Logogenie-specific questions using Step 3.

Step 3 — Logogenie platform reference

Read references/platform-guide.md for the full reference — the two creation paths (AI generator vs the 3,000+ template library) and every module's automation tag; the free-design-vs-paid-download boundary; the à-la-carte pricing (the ~€24.90 Standard pack + each add-on and what it unlocks) and the exclusive-rights (~€120) / non-exclusive-by-default split; vector (editable source) vs raster guidance; the cannot-upload-your-own-graphics limitation; the commercial-ownership/trademark limits; and the no-public-API reality (why logo generation can't be scripted and what to use instead).

Answer using only the relevant section — don't dump the full reference.

Step 4 — Actionable guidance

• Designing is free; the download is the paywall, and the model is à-la-carte — set that up front. You can generate with the AI, browse the template library, and edit for free, but a preview is not a usable file — downloading requires a one-time purchase (no subscription): a ~€24.90 Standard pack with the common web/print formats, then paid add-ons stacked on top (vector/editable source, social formats, black & white, unlimited modifications). Don't let a user assume the free design step means they own or have a usable file. All figures are best-effort — confirm at logogenie.com (euro-denominated; may not match the user's currency).
• Exclusivity is a separate ~€120 add-on — by default your logo is NON-exclusive. This is Logogenie's defining trap: the Standard pack + add-ons give you a commercial-use license, but the mark stays non-exclusive (another customer could buy/generate a similar template-based logo) unless you pay for the Exclusive option (~€120), which comes with a signed copyright agreement contract. If the brand matters, budget for exclusivity — or use an original-artwork route.
• Buy vector/editable source for print — and confirm exactly which file the base pack vs the €6 add-on gives. Sources conflict: the Standard pack lists web/print formats including an SVG, yet there's also a separate "Vector Formats" add-on (~€6, editable in Illustrator/Photoshop). The safe read: the base pack is fine for web/social (raster), but for print/signage/apparel you need the editable vector source — confirm on the live checkout exactly which file (flattened SVG vs editable .ai/.eps) each option unlocks before buying, since raster pixelates when enlarged.
• You cannot upload your own graphics — you're limited to Logogenie's library. Unlike Canva, Logogenie has no custom-artwork upload: you build from its icons/elements only, choosing the AI generator (describe the business → concepts) or the 3,000+ template library (browse-and-restyle). If a user needs to drop in an existing mark, photo, or brand asset, Logogenie is the wrong tool — steer them to /sales-canva (or a designer).
• Lock the name and validate the idea before you pay for a logo. A logo is downstream: validate demand (/sales-idea-validation) and settle the name (/sales-namelix) first — never brand a name you might change.
• Commercial-use rights ≠ a registered trademark — do your own clearance. A paid download (and the ~€120 exclusive option) grants a commercial license, but a template mark from shared assets can be non-distinctive and hard to register. Run a USPTO/EUIPO search + distinctiveness check (and a reverse-image search) before relying on it — and for a guaranteed-original, defensible mark, prefer a human designer (/sales-designcrowd).
• There is NO public API — don't plan a pipeline around it. If asked to "use the Logogenie API" to script logo generation, be precise: Logogenie is entirely a human-in-the-loop UI tool — no documented REST endpoints, no webhooks, no Zapier/Make, and no MCP. (It runs an affiliate/referral program at logogenie.com/affiliation — that's a referral program, not an automation API.) Logo generation cannot be scripted. For programmatic logo/image generation at volume, use an image-generation service with a documented API and vectorize downstream.

Gotchas

Best-effort from research (2026-07) — Logogenie is a mature, euro-denominated tool; pricing, add-ons, and terms move, and some review data is dated. Verify at logogenie.com.

• The backlog URL (logogenie.net) 301-redirects to logogenie.com — the product is alive; use the .com. The operator is France-based, which reviewers tie to slow customer-service response times.
• Designing/generating is free; the paywall is the download, and pricing is à-la-carte — a ~€24.90 Standard pack plus paid add-ons (vector/editable source ~€6, social ~€6, unlimited edits ~€6, black & white ~€3.60, invoice/email-signature templates ~€3.60 each). A preview is not a usable file. It's a one-time payment — no subscription ("no recurring payments").
• Exclusivity is a separate ~€120 add-on; the default mark is NON-exclusive (with a signed copyright agreement contract at that tier). Most peers bundle full ownership in the base paid tier — Logogenie splits exclusivity out, so budget for it if the brand matters.
• You CANNOT upload your own graphics (unlike Canva) — you're limited to Logogenie's icon/element library, via two creation paths: an AI logo generator and a 3,000+ template library (30+ industries), both feeding the same editor noted for granular text/layering control.
• There is NO public API, webhooks, Zapier/Make, or MCP. Logogenie is UI-only; logo generation can't be scripted. Its affiliate program (logogenie.com/affiliation) is a referral program, not automation. For programmatic generation, use an image-generation service with a documented API and vectorize downstream.
• Vector-file ambiguity: confirm at checkout which file (flattened SVG vs editable .ai/.eps) the Standard pack vs the ~€6 add-on unlocks — print needs the editable vector (raster pixelates).
• Commercial-use rights ≠ a cleared trademark — a shared-asset template mark can be non-distinctive; run USPTO/EUIPO clearance + a reverse-image search (a human designer route is safer for an original mark).

Examples

Example 1: "AI generator or template — and which add-ons do I buy to print it?"

User says: "I need a logo for my new bakery on Logogenie. Should I use the AI generator or a template, and which options do I pay for if I want to print it on signage?" Skill does: Explains the two creation paths (AI generator vs the 3,000+ template library, both feeding the detailed-editing editor). Because the user wants print/signage, it flags that a raster file pixelates and that they should buy the vector/editable-source option — confirming on the live checkout exactly which file the ~€24.90 Standard pack vs the ~€6 "Vector Formats" add-on unlocks. Notes designing is free but the download is the à-la-carte paywall, and presents euro figures as best-effort. Result: The founder picks a path, buys the right add-ons, and downloads a print-ready file, not a limited preview.

Example 2: "Can I use the Logogenie API to auto-generate logos?" (developer/automation)

User says: "How do I use the Logogenie API to auto-generate logos for 40 client brands from a script?" Skill does: States plainly that Logogenie has no public API — it's entirely a UI tool with no REST endpoints, webhooks, Zapier/Make, or MCP — so logo generation cannot be scripted (its affiliate program is a referral program, not automation); suggests an image-generation service with a documented API (then vectorize downstream) for programmatic generation at volume; does not invent endpoints. Result: The user avoids building on a nonexistent API and picks a workable path.

Example 3: "I bought a Logogenie logo — do I own it exclusively and can I trademark it?"

User says: "I paid for my Logogenie logo. It's exclusively mine and I can trademark it, right?" Skill does: Clarifies that the base purchase grants a commercial-use license but the mark is NON-exclusive by default — exclusivity is a separate ~€120 add-on (with a signed copyright agreement contract) — and that even then ownership ≠ a registered trademark: a template mark from shared assets can be non-distinctive, making registration harder. Advises a USPTO/EUIPO clearance + distinctiveness + reverse-image check, and to buy the exclusive option if the brand matters. Result: The user knows exclusivity costs extra, and clears the mark before trademarking.

Troubleshooting

"Why can't I download my logo for free — I designed it on Logogenie?"

Symptom: Generating/editing logos was free, but downloading a usable file asks for payment. Cause: Generating, browsing templates, and editing are free, but downloading a clean file is the paid step — a one-time à-la-carte purchase (a ~€24.90 Standard pack + optional add-ons). A free preview is not a deliverable. Solution: Finalize the logo, then buy the Standard pack plus the add-ons you actually need — the vector/editable-source add-on for print, social formats for social, and the ~€120 exclusive option if you need exclusivity. Confirm each option's contents and price on logogenie.com (euro-denominated; figures drift).

"Someone else has a logo that looks just like mine — I thought I bought it."

Symptom: A near-identical template-based mark appears on another brand. Cause: Logogenie logos are non-exclusive by default — the same template/elements can be bought or generated by others. A paid download grants a commercial license, not exclusivity. Solution: Buy the Exclusive option (~€120) for exclusive rights + a signed copyright agreement; run a USPTO/EUIPO clearance + reverse-image search, or use a human designer (/sales-designcrowd) for an original mark.

"Can I upload my own icon/photo into Logogenie, or script logos in bulk?"

Symptom: Can't find an upload button or API docs. Cause: Logogenie does not allow uploading your own graphics (you're limited to its library), and it's UI-only — no REST endpoints, webhooks, Zapier/Make, or MCP. Solution: For custom artwork, use /sales-canva (which allows uploads) or a designer. For bulk/programmatic generation, use an image-generation service with a documented API and vectorize downstream — don't plan a pipeline on Logogenie.
